Surgical Tumor-Derived Photothermal Nanovaccine for Personalized Cancer Therapy and Prevention

Tan Li et al.

Summary: Recent breakthroughs in cell membrane-fabricated nanovaccine have provided innovative therapeutic options for preventing tumor metastasis and recurrence. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment makes personalized treatment of solid tumors challenging. In this study, a personalized photothermal nanovaccine was developed based on surgical-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles, which showed outstanding imaging-guided photothermal immunotherapy efficacy and inhibited metastasis tumors by inducing antitumor immunities, especially in combination with aPD-L1 therapy. Prophylactic testing results confirmed that the photothermal nanovaccine can prevent rechallenge of 4T1 cells by 100% in a postsurgical tumor model. This work demonstrates the potential of personalized photothermal nanovaccine for tumor-specific treatment and prevention of postoperative tumor recurrence.

Summary: The study developed a self-adjuvanting biomimetic anti-tumor nanovaccine, which effectively stimulated antigen responses, provided sustained antigen supply, induced CD8(+) T-cell responses, and showed significant anti-tumor effects and survival prolongation. This nanovaccine self-assembled with phospholipid-nucleotide amphiphiles offers a safe, simple, and efficient approach for anti-tumor immunotherapy.
